Meet Gutho (Boy)

Date of birth: 24 August 2026

Foster location: Glenfield, Auckland

Eat, sleep, play, cuddle, repeat. Life is pretty good when you’re Gutho! Gutho is our big boy with a wonderfully laid-back personality. He’s the sort of puppy who is perfectly happy doing his own thing, finding a cosy spot for a snooze and taking life at his own pace. He’s independent, relaxed and has already figured out that there’s absolutely no need to rush through life when you can just chill instead! But don’t let his love of sleep fool you into thinking he’s all about the naps. When Gutho is ready to play, he’s more than happy to join his brother and sister for a bit of puppy fun. He enjoys having a play with them before eventually returning to his favourite pastime: relaxing and recharging those little puppy batteries. Gutho also has a very sweet, affectionate side. He loves a cuddle and is just as happy enjoying some affection as he is having a peaceful snooze nearby. He’s a lovely mix of independent and cuddly, making him a little character all of his own. Gutho is being fostered in Glenfield in a home with children and cats, giving him exposure to a family environment as he grows. His future family will need to continue helping him learn about the world, with gentle guidance, positive socialisation and consistent puppy training. As Gutho is still young, he’ll need a family prepared for all the usual adventures of puppyhood, from toilet training and learning manners to growing into his big paws. He’ll need plenty of opportunities to play, explore and learn, balanced with the downtime that he seems to enjoy so much. Gutho would suit a family who appreciates a puppy with a relaxed nature, an independent streak and a seriously sweet side. He’s got plenty of growing to do, and we can’t wait to see the dog he becomes. If your idea of the perfect companion is a big, lovable boy who enjoys a play, appreciates a cuddle and never says no to a good nap, Gutho might just be your guy!
